'Replica' bottle from 'flipping' video fetches over $15,000 on eBay

(Reuters) - A plastic water bottle touted as a replica of the one in a "bottle-flipping" video that went viral has fetched a closing bid of more than $15,000 on internet auction platform eBay.

Videos posted to social media on Tuesday showed North Carolina teenager Mike Senatore flipping a partially full bottle of water onto a table during a school talent show. When the bottle landed successfully, the crowd went wild.

The video turned Senatore into a social media sensation.

"@Mike_Senatore FLIPPED A WATER BOTTLE FOR OUR TALENT SHOW AND ITS THE MOST LIT THING IVER EVER EXPERIENCED," Wes (@WesleyManning6) tweeted on Tuesday.
